Internship contacts in the Maritime Industry

within Northern Ohio and nearby States

This list of contacts does not imply that each of those individuals or firms listed will be able to accommodate an internship at the time of a Midshipman’s request nor does the list imply there is a policy providing any stipend payment. Midshipmen must make the contact and negotiate the terms of the internship on an individual basis in accordance with the Merchant Marine Academy Internship Program guidelines.

 

Students may wish to contact the Ninth Coast Guard District, Cleveland, Coast Guard Marine Safety Offices throughout the Great Lakes or the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Offices in Buffalo and Detroit to determine if Internship opportunities are available. Each Federal Agency has a website explaining their mission and list of contacts.
